After pushing Wang Meilan into the guest room, Lin Xiaoguai felt suffocated and asked Jian'an to go to sleep. She, however, sat on the couch without wanting to move an inch.
Shen Chi found it odd that the lights downstairs were on as he approached the house from the yard, guessing someone might have forgotten to turn them off. But when he pushed the door open, to his surprise, it was Lin Xiaoguai sitting motionless on the couch.
He paused, then quickly walked over and sat beside her, asking with some concern, "What's wrong?"
Usually, when he worked this late, Wanwan wouldn't wait up until midnight. It had nothing to do with how good their relationship was; it was just that she had things to do during the day, and if she stayed up late, she would be tired the next day. He was no longer the petulant young boy who needed to trouble her like this.
Especially these past few days, when she was unwell, he could hardly bear it.
